Emma Frost has posed:
Catseye had no doubt been napping sometime when the television had been droning on at the Mansion. Zzzz~Zzzz.
    'Gotham Amusement Mile is Pleased to Present.. Biggest Ball of Twine.. Laser pointer..~ No doubt as if a lightswitch had been flared from 'NAP' to 'HYPER' all of Catseye's attention would be on maximum alert.

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith sat up, drifting from the back of the sofa to the seat to look intently at the screen. An ear flicked as the small, four legged feline walked up to the TV to prop her forepaws on the edge of the screen. She gave it a few firm swats. She would have turned the volume up, but most modern TVs didn't have volume nobs or buttons at all near the screen.

Emma Frost has posed:
The television goes on 'Gotham Amusement Mile, Gotham AMusement' mile. And the television would flash over with signs of a huge ball of yarn. A yarnball nearly as tall as a juggler on stilts. All threaded up. Carefully knotted together. The television gave directions.

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith darted rather quickly around the couch, staring out one window and then the other as she determined which direction was best for getting to the advertised, massive ball of yarn. She shot up quickly into human form, throwing a blanket over her shoulders for some feigned sense of modesty as she scoured the room. "I need shoes... and a hat... and... pants, and..." She glanced over in the direction of the laundry room, grumpily wondering to herself why it was so absurdly complicated for humans to travel when they had to gather so many cursed accessories.

Tabitha Smith has posed:
One of the other things Sharon was going to need was a ride. That was probably where Tabitha came in. The van might still be getting one of it's bent axle's replaced and thirtyish year old parts might not be easy to find so there's time.

The blonde does have a bike at least, fast and nimble it can make the trip to Gotham and back easy enough.

"Whoa? That is some massive case of the zoomies. What's the rush?" she almost gets bowled over by the feline shapeshifter. The blonde in some dark bluejeans, a cropped XAVIER's hoodie in yellow with red text. The hood and midriff cut to give more of a off the shoulder bellyshirt look while she backpedals on red wedgeheeled sneakers.

Emma Frost has posed:
For some plot-contrivance related reason, even as Sharon goes to get those annoying things that are required to go out and about in public, a radio clicks on somewhere.
    ~Largest Ball of Twine in Greater New Jersey Area~ and, perhpas nearly as important ~Largest gimmick Tuna factory offering free samples~. Oh yes, they were going to be pushing said bike to four or five digits o fspeed.

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith insisted with several points of her finger that she had to go *there.* She was a bit too excited to form all of that in coherent, human language, but her insistance and constant pointing seemed to get her 'point' across. She was just as eager on the back of a bike, insisting with swats and taps that Tabitha wasn't driving fast enough.

Tabitha Smith has posed:
Eventually they'll get there. Once Sharon wasn't going to get them arrested for public nudity, it's gotham, they'll lighyt the bat signal for just about anything. a helmet was swiped from one of the other bikes so both could keep their nuggets intact.

The drive to New York usually took an hour, then a while after that to cross into New Jersey and down into Gotham.

She did at least entertain with more than a few periods of wild speed limit breaking and maybe a couple bouncier hills getting a second or too or air time.

Parking in Gotham with something open like a bike was a risk so it meant hiding it and then walking the last few hudred yards.

"Well here we are. Twine and Tuna land Sharon!"

Sharon Smith has posed:
The greater the speed, the more Sharon cackled and encouraged with evil cries of "Yes!" sounding like the wicked cat-witch of the west.

She jumped off of the bike when it parked, bouncing toward the main event. "We have arrived... to a paradise" she insisted with a wave to beckon Tabitha on. She could have waited for her to turn off the bike, but was seemingly in too much of a hurry.

Emma Frost has posed:
It's perhpas not quite a lifetime later as they pull up to Amusement Mile in Gotham. And up ahead is a huge, huge ball of Twine over on a stand. A ball of twine with a diameter of nearly four meters. Further back was a huge fifteen meter tall giant flashy thing which would shoot a giant red laser beam up and into space when the huge button on the side of it was pushed. Further down was a very, very large buffet spread looking to be the size of a small whale lined up with fresh tuna.

For Catseye, this might be the promised land.

Tabitha Smith has posed:
Cat's being cats, Sharon might also need money to get into any of the themed attractions. But luckily Tabi does have some on her. "Don't wander too far. This place is noisy and I can't easily like find you in the croud even if you're brain is different!" she warns and does her best to keep up.

At least Tabitha hasn't been skimping on her cardio. The giant Laser gets a grin. "Wanna take bets that thing is like live and can blow a building up if it gets pointed down." she jokes and hits the button. She probably just started an interplanetary war.

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith gave Tabitha a deadpan look. "Lasers don't work like that" she claimed, perhaps not having seen Cyclops in action. She rounded Tabitha several times before taking the opportunity to also slap the button in quick, enthusiastic succession. "Do you think they'll let me climb it?" she asked, nodding at the yarn ball.

Emma Frost has posed:
As Tabby goes to push the button, there's a BWOOSH that shoots up into the sky and into space. Huge, huge red laser. Explosion in orbit. Oh well, no one needed that satellite anyways! And everyone's attention is sufficiently distracted on the pewpew that Catseye has all the time she needs. PRECIOUS.

Tabitha Smith has posed:
"Focused energy conetrated on a single spot can do damage after a while even at low power. Like a candle flame. Or a glorified magnifying glass. This is Gotham, you never know when a nutjob with an animal theme name might leave a superweapon lying around perfectly innocuous and suddenly mass destruction." Tabby states and grins. Pro level energy concentrations. And her name does have a certain feline connotation.

"I'd probably avoid climbing it. They might decide you can't have Tuna. God I hope it's clean. Reminds me of some of the dodgier hot dogs I've had at Coney." she has flashbacks and makes an eww face svrunching her features up.

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith nods softly. "Perhaps we can take it with us." she joked... or hopefully joked. It was hard to tell with Sharon since she had such a flat tone of voice. She would be a great poker player. "I will have the tuna first then..." she decided, strategizing her sequence of events to make the most of their visit. She gave the button one last punch before darting with her to the tuna.

Emma Frost has posed:
The laser finally goes to shut off once the pressure is tkaen off it. No one is paying attention tot he giant flaming thing off in space. This is Gotham after all. There's no signs of a giant clown death laser. It can't be that bad.

Meanwhile, along the way is a large whale-sized spread of tuna. An open buffet. Difefrent types of tuna arrayed over with hundreds and hundreds of kilos on it with different sauces and serving tools. All fresh cut, cleaned, and cooked.

Tabitha Smith has posed:
"Well, we can probably stash the thing at the mansion. May need to hide it from Cable." Is Tabitha legitimately planning on stealing a giant laser? It's a bit big for her and sharon to carry though. Especially on the bike. "He'd probably squee louder than some of the new girls finding the stable. Maybe for his birthday." Teenage girls plus horses equals ear shattering loud that even Siryn and Dazzler would call excessive.

But for now, even Tabby is hungry and starts heading with Sharon for the tuna buffet. She does grab some in a plate, And plenty of a few types of cooked tuna. It does seem like a lot to an observer but Tabitha always seemed to have one of the larger appetitess.

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith gave a smile "Okay!" she beamed, as though accepting that as part of her plan. First thing was first, however: The tuna. "It smells wonderful." she claimed, which was an odd take from someone looking at fish laying out on display in the open air, however Sharon had odd tastes.

Emma Frost has posed:
There is so much tuna. So, so much tuna. Enough to make enough pouches to satisfy even Cable if there was such a volume comprehensible to the human understanding of geometry. It smells deliscious. There's cooked tuna, raw tuna, BBQ'd tuna, clown tuna (probably best not to ask on that one).

Tabby's ENTIRELY THEORETICAL squeals that Cable might do result in a trio of girl that look totally 90's SoCall go, "As if!"

Tabitha Smith has posed:
Tabitha had literaly eaten garbage more than a few times so all this is a step up from that. And if there really was anything suspect, it would probably have hit Sharon's nose well before even tasting it.

So food is paid for both women shaped mutants and Tabby finds the two a bench to park their. Tabitha's eating probably needs a bib but hunching over her own plate will have to suffice. "So, maybe I should have... Nah, they'll shine the bat signal for that and we'll end up in like Arkham. Well I will. But I think I saw a flat bed truck with a crane on it parked somewhere half an hour ago." she plans and plots.

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith picked... all of the above. She chose inappropriately large portions of anything within hands reach, foregoing mostly to use her plate or utensils as her mouth was free to cotain most anything she could get her hands on... as did half of her face, and whoever poor person's shirt she was wearing. The plate was given the task of catching anything that didn't remain in, on, or around her mouth.

The feline centric mutant did her best to keep up with Tabitha's conversation, but all of her replies came out as a muffled garble of lost meanings, and bits of lost tuna.

Emma Frost has posed:
Sharon is likely consuming mass proportional in tuna to a hummingbird and sugar. She will likely be getting many more platefulls of the extremelylarge, deliscious tuna spread in front of her. Plate no doubt filled high as she demonstrates supreme fish eating abilities.

Meanwhile, the near Cable preferred size giant red dot shooter continues to sit there. Tauntingly. TAUNTINGLY.

Tabitha Smith has posed:
It's probably going to make a lot of people jealous watchint these two women eat so much and still seem to manage to have figures that models would envy. But then these two do work a lot and burn the calories.

"Didn't they say there was a big ass ball of twine. Biggest in Jersey? Probably easier to climb. No smooth metal surfaces. Just plenty of porous fibres that claws can fit and snag!" Tabby suggests the possible safer but no less disruptive and fun potential for vandalism. Or at least seeing how long before they get kicked out.

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith was still trying to talk. Eating took priority over her chomping on foul smelling fish. Eventually she swallowed down enough to tell Tabitha "I'll find out." she told her.

Eat and run seemed to be her tactic. She deposited her plate on the table beside her and started a light trot toward the ball of yarn, wet, sticky fish fingers gripping the rope that separated it from the world.

Emma Frost has posed:
Catseye had her own priorities here. No matter what, Tabby would end up an accessory to whatever cat-nanigans that occured. Said ball of twine was more than five meters tall. Just set off by some cheap looking ribbon and a sign which read 'Largest Ball of Twine in the Greater New Jersey Area' over in what looked like styrofoam cutouts. Apparently it was not the hugest tourist attraction here.

But Catseye was able to get towards the ball of yarn, and perhpas something instinctive to all cat-kind would hit her up as she got nearer to it.

Tabitha Smith has posed:
Tabby if anything can be a heck of an enabler. So she finishes enough of her tuna feast and suddenly wonders how much she ate was actually cat food. But she's also following after Sharon while also maybe starting to dance, hips swaying, hands over head in a serpentine motion on the spot and humming a dazzler tune pretty loudly. It's clearly a distraction so Sharon can have her fun.

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith stepped back in the crowd, discreetly vanishing into a much smaller size. A small pile of clothes was left in her wake, abandoned by a small black cat who dashed swiftly around and up the large ball of yarn. It ended up on top, flattening out in a look of bliss as little arms and legs stretched to their fullest extent to cover impossibly as much of the curved, yarny surface as they could.

Emma Frost has posed:
Catseye goes to leap up and over along the massive semi-truck sized yarnball. It's soothing. Comforting. Fun. claws kneading. Pressed against it. Blissful. If this were the way cat-sistance was supposed to be, all one would need was a giant sunbeam down atop her to make it perfect. Tuna. Giant yarn. Giant yarn..

All attention is given towards Tabitha, as people are staring, including those weird SoCal 90's Valley Girls. "As if!"

Tabitha Smith has posed:
Once shifting to cat form is done, Tabitha no longer needs to be a distraction, so she stops dancing. the Valley girls get a grin and a point. "Least some of us can dance without a pole!" she taunts and challenges before slipping back among the crowds collecting a certain pile of clothes before they get trodden on or stolen or worse. Bundled up and cradled like a football in one arm while a cat starts playing.

Of course being a cat it is very much dorbs. So a few pics from her phone in free hand are taken. And a wonder of how well secure the yarn is and just how strong Sharon's hybrid forms might be. Which might be telepathically shared with the feline.

Sharon Smith has posed:
Sharon Smith stood proudly on her newly claimed yarn ball. She gave the few, obligitory circle turns, claws picking up the stray threads, fraying them lightly. The turns concluded with her settling in a happy little black ball atop of the absurdly large yarn thing. It seemed Tabitha had lost Catseye to her own happy little world. It would be difficult to get her back down from her peak.

Emma Frost has posed:
Catseye has reached cats-vana. Somehow, in Gotham, there's a huge sunbeam glowing down now centered somehow directly atop the small kitty snoozing ontop of it. As Tabitha gets her video, it's going to be something for the school website.

Tabitha Smith has posed:
Eventually that cat is going to get bored and come home. So Tabby just keeps a telepathic eye on Sharon for now. There are more plans later to possibly steal the giant laser. But there's no ghood way to swipe something in Gotham City when there is no bat signal already up.

Next time there is a crime, then that might be where Tabitha strikes.

But it is just a glorified red spot light, she doesn't need the whole tube of metal, just the light inside and the power suppy. It can't be that hard to sneak off with in the dead of night.

But that's what happens when cat-adjacent villains get near cat adjacent things.

Gotham does weird things sometimes.
